The project involved designing and commissioning a spray dryer for ceramic applications, focusing on producing high-quality alumina ceramics. The goal was to achieve specific particle size distribution with precise moisture content in the final product while handling high solid-content slurry feeds.
- Particle Size Requirement: The client needed a specific particle size for the ceramics.
- High Solid Content Feed: Managing slurry feeds with over 70% solid content posed significant challenges in terms of drying efficiency.
- Atomization: Achieving the required atomization was critical due to the high viscosity of the slurry.
- Moisture Control: Maintaining moisture content below 0.1% in the final product was another key challenge.
- Loss of Ignition: To meet the quality standards of the ceramic materials, the client required precise control over the loss of ignition (LOI).
- Bulk Density: Achieving the correct bulk density of the final product was essential to ensure consistency and quality in ceramic production.
Additional Points:
- The plant’s performance has been consistent, operating at full capacity for the last year.
- Shachi’s collaboration with European partners ensured the integration of top-tier rotary atomizers, contributing to the plant’s success.
